Extremely quick card tonight! It was Holly's boyfriends birthday on Friday, and I've not seen him yet, but she just announced when I got home that he is coming over. So we quickly had dinner, I left her to clean up and I went straight to the craft room, and this is what I came up with.... my stamps just arrived this evening from Annabelle Stamps, how lucky was I!. This has to be the quickest card I've ever made, didn't even have to strain the brain (LOL)

Ok its that time again, and hasn't this month just flown by! There are six of us wonderful 'Roses', Betty, Sue, Connie, Olga, Kym and of course myself. This is challenge No. 7, and its back to Sue to host the challenge, and she has challenged us to decorate a bag, she gave us all a package consisting of a bag, ribbon and felt, I've created this bag with my daughter in mind as it's her birthday in a few weeks. Now I just have to fill it (LOL)...My stamp is from Justrite ' Plant A Little Love', coloured with copics, heart punch, and of course the butterfly punch, I added little felt flowers at the top. Its been sitting there for a few days, then I thought I would do the back, which I think just tops it off.

I suppose you all thought I had vanished off the face of the earth, well I'm still here (LOL).... I think I mentioned this some time ago, but I've been is serious pain with my right shoulder, I have been seeing a physiotherapist for about 6 months which has been costing me a small fortune, then I was told I would probably have to have cortisone injections... Before I have this, I want to try something else, so I went to see this chinese acupuncturist, have had two sessions, and I'm 95% better, I feel so much happier in my self, I'm sleeping through the night, he says I only need to come one more time, but I'm going to go two more, just to be on the safe side.... they told me I should not do any computer work, give up my craft, but I need my computer for my job.... so I sacrificed the craft, as I need to work to pay for my hobby (LOL). I'm hoping I will be back in full swing shortly, and back to the challenges, but I've loved looking at all the blogs and beautiful work you all have created...

CopicOz is having its very first challenge, if you love copics then this is a challenge for you! There will be a copicoz challenge posted on the last Wednesday of the month, so this gives busy people plenty of time to play along.... thats me! .... All you have to do is create a project, it can be a card, layout or off the page. This month its flowers, doesn't matter what flowers, size or colour... they just need to be coloured in copics.... you can check it out here, and its open to everyone from around the world!.... My card was created using Gina K - Spring Florals stamp, I've coloured with copics, I'm not that good at using them, but am getting a lot better at the blending... one day I will be a professional (LOL)....

Better make this quick, as I'm going out for a lovely Sunday breakfast .... more about that later!... then I'm heading over to Sue's place for a natter.... I haven't seen her since she came back from her trip, so looking forward to catching up, and seeing the photos. This card is for the sketch challenge over at Stamp TV, I didn't really stick to the sketch... oops... I'm also entering this in Crazy 4 Challenges

About Me

I work full time within the TV Industry, which takes up so so much of my time, but when the weekends come, and the house work is done, I try and fit in a little time of relaxation for me, which is doing craft....
